2.1 About the Ksplice Uptrack API

The Ksplice Uptrack API is a RESTful web API that allows you to query the status of your
machines that are running Ksplice Uptrack. You can use the command line tools that come with
the Python bindings, write your own custom scripts using the bindings, or write your own
interface using HTTP requests.

The API tells you what updates machines have, if you have out of date, inactive, or
unsupported machines, and more. The Python bindings come with the
check_uptrack and check_uptrack_local plugins for
Nagios, which allows you to monitor the status of your machines.

You cannot use the Ksplice Uptrack API to monitor systems that are running Ksplice Offline
Client as such systems are not registered with https://uptrack.ksplice.com.
